#1 I love this story -- more in the steady stream of good news for those who care to hear it.

How different, psychologically and culturally, is the Philippine Muslim Enemy from the Arabian/Persian Muslim Enemy? What, if anything, is different about the Philippine flavor of Islam?

Just the one flavour, Sir, different strengths.

#5 It's hard to do the work necessary to succeed outside an Islamic community when you're banging your head against the floor five times a day and following all the other rules Islam imposes upon its believers. TRUE Islam is incompatible with advanced, technical civilization. You either have to be a seventh-century farmer, an imam living off the sweat of other men's brows, or a thief. Islam is a death sentence for its followers, yet none of them can understand that. My sympathy meter is still registering in the negative whenever Islam is mentioned.
